Virtual Reality is upon us with the likes of Oculus Rift already available and HTC Vive coming very soon. Valve have released a SteamVR benchmark which will test your system for VR Readiness, we advice customers to run this benchmark as the minimum specification to be VR Ready is a GTX 970 from camp NVIDIA. A GeForce 980Ti scores 10-11 in the SteamVR benchmark which is the highest score possible. So if you want the best possible VR performance than GTX 980Ti or Titan X is the answer for truly the best VR gaming experience. VR is a game changer for games such as Elite Dangerous, Portal 3, Flight simulator, Doom, Project cars and who knows the elusive Half Life 3 may make an appearance from Valve as being VR optimised, lets keep our fingers crossed.

ASUS STRIX-GTX980TI-DC3-6GD5-GAMING armored with an advanced backplate prevents PCB bending over time, and now includes GPU-Fortifier, which relieves physical stress around the GPU in order to protect it. ASUS graphics cards also equipped Pulsating STRIX LED to make a statement while adding style to your system with new pulsing light effects.

Get VR Ready with GeForce® GTX.GeForce® GTX graphics cards provide a powerful next-generation platform for the ultimate immersive virtual reality experience. Immersive VR requires seven times the graphics processing power of traditional 3D apps and games. NVIDIA's unique set of features-such as multi-res shading-mean you get the right level of performance, image quality, and latency to ensure your VR experience is nothing short of amazing.

Huge card made for 2560x1440 G sync

I purchased this card in december 2015 to go with my asus pg278q gsync monitor, and its great, the 2 complement each other perfectly giving ultra settings with very high fps. Beware though this card is bloody huge and will sag in a conventional vertical motherboard case unless you support it somehow. Unfortunately my strix 980ti has died this morning after 8 months. So my next review will be overclockers rma process.
